I've got that pic! Will post in a few minutes. I remember looking at it and thinking "where the hell is the wheel?" Good eye gents. Back in a...
Guys, I’ve studied the video for hours while extracting select screen shots to process in P-Shop. Along the way, I can’t help but form a...
Henning, you've made two posts in this thread that exactly mirror my own extrapolations. The quote above is one of them. I have attached a...
Dear OnThePins, In this case, the admin is ex-DOD and has access to information you could only dream about. When you slammed me, I ran a search,...

With this last picture, we're putting you in the helm seat and asking one question... What happened here? Wisdom is welcome. Follow this...
The flybridge helm is still intact, but has shifted backwards into the helm seats.
This picture was taken from the flybridge, looking down to where you would normally see a long foredeck. Now, we can see the floor of the v-berth...
